Not sure why they'd ask for a cardholder? Does sound a little strange.

Did you get the phone number they rang in on.

It will probably be 02071521039 or 02070594000, these numbers keep constanly phoning my mobile (which is on the three network btw) and my virgin media landline, i have never answered any of the calls, but a quick search on who rings me says that these numbers are from people stating they are virgin media, then asking for account details.
